In a T Magazine tour of furniture dealer and interior designer Michael Bargo’s one-bedroom that doubles as his shop — nearly everything is for sale —  we thought: How nice to hang a really beautiful rug on the wall, in a mashup with beautiful objects from many eras.  Then we read the fine print: An early Caucasian Shirvan rug COVERS THE TV.

Brilliant!

What a lovely way to disguise an ugly black flat screen. The rug is hung on a rod that allows it to be pushed to the side. Any wonderfully patterned flat-weave rug could work.
